We come across companies struggling with a Salesforce CPQ implementation almost on a weekly basis. This includes companies large and small: from $10M ARR to businesses generating billions of dollars in revenue. Given all the struggles with owning and using Salesforce CPQ, you’d wonder why companies would even consider buying Salesforce CPQ in the first place.

At Subskribe, we are inspired to make hard things easy for customers. Discerning customers can see that, and they love the customer obsession we bring to every interaction. So why do customers love Subskribe so much? Here’s a list of the reasons we hear most frequently.

Too many companies fall into the best-of-breed trap of buying and patching together separate CPQ, billing, and revenue recognition systems. On the one hand, sales ops teams are tasked with evaluating, buying, and running the CPQ system, which is responsible for creating and managing quotes.

If you’re a growing SaaS company, your pricing model is likely to be straightforward for SMB customers (e.g., $100 a month) but more sophisticated for larger enterprises. In today’s world, however, CPQ in action is much more complex with a number of variables to consider, especially as it relates to products and technology. 

Until about a decade ago, software was sold using a license model. Think about buying Microsoft Word. You paid once and received lifetime access to that version of the software. Major updates, like the upgrade from Word 97 to Word 2000, cost extra.

Today we’re publicly launching Subskribe, and announcing our Series A and Seed funding led by 8VC and Slow Ventures. Subskribe is the Adaptive Quote-to-Revenue platform for the Post Subscription Era.
